@Danny

Agree with all of those except Milner. We won’t get any money for him at this stage and he should be kept on a coach etc. He’s a great example for the young players.

@Zoran

That intention from our side would be understandable, but he will probably feel he can still play. And why not. If he’s still playing for one of the best sides in Europe, there’s still somewhat lower level football in him for the next few years. Then, we’ll see if we want him back, if he wants back to get into coaching, etc.

Yes, I feel Milner isn’t ready to stop playing yet. Maybe he sees Lallana and thinks he can still get considerable minutes at a lesser club. He is way more fitter than Lallana too.
